WMAL Television, Washington D.C.

Black Efforts for Soul in Television (BEST) versus WMAL Television.
1969.
A coalition of Black activist groups petitioned the FCC to deny the renewal of WMAL Television’s broadcast license.
At a press conference, Black Power and civil rights groups accused WMAL-TV of being “controlled and dominated by white racism in their programming, news reporting, hiring policies and management.”
They added, “White Americans form their expectations of what is ordinary and normal in the larger society by reading newspapers and watching television. With the present media, they will never understand nor accept the black American because white station owners have failed to depict black life in a relevant and honest way...
“Although the majority of white station owners do consider themselves sincerely committed to justice for the black man, this is a farce of self-deception and complacent vanity ... WMAL-TV stands unchallenged as the supreme racist of them all.”
